Presbytery Ministers

Two new Presbytery Ministers started full time with the Presbytery of North East Victoria (PNEV) in early 2025. Rev. Tanya Walker takes responsibility for the West of the Presbytery and Scott Leslie (Pastor) for the East. The Hume Freeway is the dividing line between East and West with some exceptions. Rev. Alan Lockwood is part time Presbytery Minister for Pastoral Care.

Rev. Alan Lockwood

The Presbytery Minister Pastoral Care is a part-time minister who collaborates with the two full-time Presbytery Ministers. When long-term care is needed, it is typically the Presbytery Minister Pastoral Care who provides the ongoing support to individuals or congregations.
The Presbytery Minister Pastoral care maintains contact with ministers in placement, especially those settling into new placements, as well as with leaders where there is no minister in placement, and retired ministers. 

The Presbytery Minister Pastoral Care is a member of the Synod Placements
Committee and the Presbytery Pastoral Relations Committee, and at times participates in mission studies with congregations seeking a new minister, Life and Witness programs, and is a facilitator for the Loddon Mallee North East Victoria Presbyteries worship resource program.
